1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Mis Hi, Billy, Hi, Callie, what's up, Elliott?

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: What's everyone looking at? Hi?

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 3: Lisa? Billy is shopping for new sneakers.

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Let me see.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: Ooh those are fire.

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: How much do they cost? Billy is checking?

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: WHOA, that's a really big number.

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 4: Billy looks like you do not have enough money to

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 4: buy these shoes. They are expensive.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, this is terrible. What are we going to do?

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Billy needs to make some money fast. Billy, you need.

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: To get a job.

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 4: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: fun of play. Learning has an idea to help Billy

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 4: buy the shoes he wants. But can children really get jobs?

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 4: Do you think that's a good idea. Let's find out

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 4: more in today's episode about the rights of children. Billy,

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: are you looking at job postings on your computer?

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: Oh, Billy, look at this one electrician.

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: You could use your tool belt.

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: You love your tool belt.

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Oh, and look at this one.

24
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: You could be a flight attendanty you already want to fly?

25
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: Well, you may want to look at some of the

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 4: details of these jobs.

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: What do you mean jobs don't have tails?

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: Not animal tails? Details?

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: The details are all the little particular things about the job,

30
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: like what time you have to go to work and

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: how old you have to be.

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Okay, see hours are nine to five Monday two Friday.

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: But when we go to school, must have a college degree.

34
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: But Billy's not old enough to go to college.

35
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: That's right.

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 4: Billy is not old enough to go to college, and

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: he's not old enough to get a job. Billy is

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 4: a kid, and kids need time.

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: To go to school. Billy says, it's not fair. I agree,

40
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: it's not fair. Billy should be able to work.

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Billy should be able to get those sneakers.

42
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's his right.

43
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: Well, Lisa, children do have rights. That is very true

44
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: and very important. In fact, World Children's Day celebrates these rights.

45
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: But it's not the right to fancy sneakers, it's not.

46
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: Nope.

47
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 4: But one right children do have is the right not

48
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: to work. Really, but why, lingo kids.

49
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: Listeners, do you know?

50
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: Why do you think there are laws to protect young

51
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: children from working?

52
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

53
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: I mean, if a kid wants to work, a kid

54
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: should work. Maybe a little story will help explain.

55
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I lostly.

56
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: About one hundred and fifty years ago, Maya moved with

57
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: her family from Europe to New York City she was

58
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: eight years old. Her family traveled a very long way

59
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: on a very crowded boat for many weeks. When they

60
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: got to New York, Maya, her mom, and her two

61
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: little brothers moved into an apartment with Maya's uncle and

62
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: his wife and three kids.

63
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: Wait one, two, three, or five, six, seven, eight, nine

64
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: us nine people.

65
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: It must have been a very big apartment.

66
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: Actually it was a very small apartment in a building

67
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: with many other small apartments called a tenement house.

68
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: That sounds crowded and squishy it was.

69
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: Maya's family did not speak a lot of English. Yet

70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: it was hard for Maya's mom to find a job,

71
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 4: so she did what many other families were doing at

72
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: that time in order to survive what she set up

73
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: a sewing shop in her apartment.

74
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: Everybody in the family helped.

75
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 1: There were nine people and a sewing shop in that little,

76
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: tiny apartment.

77
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: Yes, Maya's job was to walk to the factory six

78
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: blocks away to collect big bags of fabric.

79
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: And bring them home to her mom, all by herself.

80
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: Yes, the bags were very happy to carry, and the

81
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: streets were very crowded.

82
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: So it took her a long time.

83
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: Wait, when did she do her homework?

84
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: Well, Elliott, it was hard for Maya to go to

85
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: school at all. It was also hard to find time

86
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: to learn English and make friends and play with other

87
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: kids because.

88
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: She was busy working.

89
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: Poor Maya way exactly.

90
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: It's great to do your chores and help your family,

91
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: but it's different when you have to work every day.

92
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 4: And that is why many people fought hard to get

93
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: laws that protect young children from working.

94
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: Phew, what happened to Maya?

95
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: Well, after working very hard, Maya's family managed to move

96
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: out of the tenement house.

97
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: She got to go back to.

98
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: School yay, and when she grew up, became a teacher.

99
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh, Maya, Now is a good story.

100
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I get it.

101
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: Now, what do you get, Lisa?

102
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: I get why kids have a right not to work.

103
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: We need time to go to school and play and.

104
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: Be kids. Billy wants to know what other rights children have.

105
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: Me too.

106
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: You might be interested to know that in nineteen fifty nine,

107
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: leaders from all over the world met to agree on

108
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 4: the rights of children.

109
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: I bet that's when they gave us the right to sneakers.

110
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: Children don't have the right to a particular type of sneaker.

111
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: Oh darn, But they do have the right to clothes,

112
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: and that includes shoes. Kids also have the right to

113
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 4: food and a safe place to live.

114
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: Everyone needs food and a place to live. Exactly. Are

115
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: there any more rights?

116
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

117
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: The right to share your opinions and thoughts. I do

118
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: that all the time. Yes, you do, Lisa. Also the

119
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: right to education.

120
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: Why goodness school?

121
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: Yes? And the right to have time to play.

122
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: I am so good at doubt one.

123
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: Another important right that children have is the right to

124
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: be taken care of by an adult.

125
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: Oh.

126
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: Those are really good rights.

127
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: I agree they do.

128
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: Billy says he wants to use one of his rights.

129
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: What is it, Billy, Great idea. Billy decided he wants

130
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 4: to stop thinking about sneakers and use his right to

131
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: go outside to play and have fun with his friends.

132
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: Great idea, Billy.

133
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: Let's go.

134
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: Well, Lingo kids listeners.

135
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: Today we learned about some of the important rights that

136
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: all children have. This is a great time to think

137
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: about these rights because November twentieth is World Children's Day.

138
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,559
Speaker 2: So tell all the kids

139
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: You know Happy Children's Day, and be sure to always

140
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: speak up for the rights of children everywhere.
